A longtime coastal tradition, the Rockaway Beach Kite Festival brings kite enthusiasts and spectators together each June at the Rockaway Beach Wayside. For this family-friendly event, you can win awards like the nicest kite or kite that drags on the ground the longest. Children are invited to join in on the fun as they build and learn to fly small kites during classes. While you’re visiting the Festival, be sure to wander about the town and check out the many shops and restaurants Rockaway Beach has to offer!
